Trump is not a symptom of American decline, but the result of it. A criminal. Mobster. Abuser of rights. Plunderer of resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He personifies all the worst things America does. No filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>America has been an imperial power since WWII. Buying or taking whatever we want. Under cover story of stopping communism, we&#8217;ve invaded Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and more. If we can&#8217;t win using economic warfare, like tariffs and corporate invasions, we send in the marines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of it &#8220;to protect vital interests&#8221;. <br>Like big oil and gas profits, and ensuring infinite future profits for the weapons industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sold to the highest bidder. Everything is for sale. Except for peace. We sell weapons to both sides to ensure that unrest continues in the world, because a world without warfare is much harder to exploit for profit and power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the unrest and violence in the world also enables a nearly $1T per year military budget, further ensuring the profits and stabilty of weapon manufacturers&#8230;and their ever growing stock prices (=huge profits for the rich and shameless).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But good news&#8230;we&#8217;ve finally come out as a country. Now, our president will be a mob boss. No more hiding, pretending to do good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hey world: It&#8217;s\u00a0who we <strong><em>really<\/em><\/strong> are. The Home of Monopolies and Organized Crime, The Land of the Deceived.<br><br>All that &#8220;protect the peace&#8221; and &#8220;promote democracy&#8221; BS is just the cover story. Again and again we make the rest of the world &#8220;an offer they can&#8217;t refuse&#8221;. Our words are backed by aircraft carriers, stealth bombers and nukes. Who&#8217;s gonna argue? Who&#8217;s gonna be the <s>first<\/s> next to get fed up, and decide to fight back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess we&#8217;re gonna find out.
